This course is aimed at new users of Understanding Society, as well as those who have so far only made use of simpler aspects of the data. It aims to guide the user through the complexities of using this data for cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis, and ensure that they can make effective use of the data for their own research projects.
The course is free to attend and includes lunch and refreshments.
Introduce the basic principles of causal modelling (potential outcomes, graphs, causal effects) while emphasising the key role of design and assumptions in obtaining robust estimates.
Introduce the basic principles of machine learning and the use of machine learning methods to do causal inference (e.g. methods stemming from domain adaptation and propensity scores).
Show how to implement these techniques for causal analysis and interpret the results in illustrative examples.
New data released from Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study shows that earnings have fallen for households across the UK, but particularly for the lowest earners, and with severe losses for single parents

This free webinar, jointly organised by Understanding Society, the UK Data Service Census team and CeLSIUS, is designed for anyone who would like to know more about sources of survey data available for investigating language spoken in the UK.
The aim of the course is to provide academics, policy practitioners and other interested users with an introduction to the concepts, structure and functioning of EUROMOD. EUROMOD is a state-of-the art tax-benefit microsimulation model linking micro-data from household surveys and policy legislation in a single user interface
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers using subjective expectations in
their work and to foster and stimulate the exchange of ideas.
The workshop is the sixth in a series of workshops on Subjective Expectations. Previous
workshops have been held at Université Laval in Québec city (2009 and 2011), the University
of Essex (2014), New York Federal Reserve Bank (2016), and CESifo in Munich (2018).
The course is open to early career and postgraduate researchers from all disciplines and policy fields.
The course will be delivered as a combination of short lectures followed by practical in the computer lab. The course will be based on a series of hands-on-examples using Understanding Society neighbourhood data in Stata. There will be time for discussion and Q&A.
This free webinar, jointly organised by Understanding Society, CeLSIUS, the SLS-DSU is designed for anyone who would like to know more about sources of survey data available for investigating religion in the UK.
